Netflix’s latest offering is the sci-fi drama Bodies, starring Stephen Graham, which hit the streaming service yesterday (October 19th).
Based on the graphic novel by Si Spencer, which Paul Tomalin has adapted, Bodies also features an original score by Jon Opstad.
An official synopsis of the eight-part show reveals a unique plot, where “the same body” is found “in 1890, 1941, 2023 and 2053,” leading “one detective from each period” to investigate.
“As connections are drawn across the decades, the detectives soon discover their investigations are linked, and an enigmatic political leader – Elias Mannix (Graham) – becomes increasingly central. Did he have a part to play in the murder? Or is something far more sinister at play?”
“To solve the mystery, our four detectives must somehow collaborate and uncover a conspiracy spanning over 150 years.”
Each episode contains ‘Bodies Main Title’ and ‘Bodies End Credits’ by Opstad, alongside a mixture of other original compositions and tracks by the likes of Dinah Washington, Chopin and Vera Lynn.
